CANANDAIaUA, N. Y, May %, 1886.
Pardee Medicine Co.,
GENTLEMEN:-Nearly all winter l was
confined to my room with inflammatory
rheumatism. I commenced using DR..
Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy, but after
taking it for a time the pain became more
intense, and I was alarmed and feared
the remedy was making me worse, but
continued its use and soon the pain left
me. and l gradually improved, the sore
ness leaving my arms and shoulders and
seeming to pass out at my toes. 1t has
completely cured me. At the time l
commenced using the remedy l had a
throat difficulty and the catarrh, which I
found to be better after taking it, and it
occurred to me to use it as a gargle,
which I did, and to my great satisfaction
improved rapidly, and to-day am free
from both rheumatism and catarrh. l
consider it indispensable as a family
medicine. / take one ~teaspoonful after
breakfast and find il q splendid tonic.
I would advise you 10 recommend It as q
gargle for throat troubles and catarrh,
for I know it will cure. I have seen some
remarkable cures from the use of this
remedy, and it is one I can recommend
to all.
I am, very truly yours.
